I think the thobes looks very smart. Especially nice crisp white ones with smart cufflinks, smelling of good after shave ... works for me :-)
I also would have thought they would be quite cool to wear here in the hot weather. Lets the netherregions breath!!
I also disagree with the Abeya's. Haven't you noticed now the very smart ones, with glittery edges, matching head scarfes etc. Or maybe as I am a woman and lived in the middle east for 10 years now have become a bit of an expert on them :-)
I don't see them as just black cloaks anymore. Although some of them do wear quite boring ones, there are certainly some very smart ones out there. Matched with nice handbag and shoes it can look pretty good.
Each country is entitled to their identity, and what a boring world it would be if we all dressed the same??
